Whiff of Joy #128 - {BINGO}

Hello my dear crafty friends! So nice to have you here! :) 

Whiff of Joy is hosting another amazing challenge and you have to participate, since it's so great! Our theme is "BINGO." You know how to play it, right? So when we're talking about crafting we play it with words.

And I choose to use: CHARM, PEARLS, LACE 

 This picture is not the best, since it was crapy rainy day when I took it + I use my phone. :S 

I love that I ❤ you on the left. It's so cute, don't you think so? :) And I decided to use this round edge shape of a card, since I wanted to make something different. + the size of this card is pretty small. 

Be sure to join us at WHIFF OF JOY challenge and check out all those amazing inspiring *BINGO* design team cards.

CRAFT-alnica #54

CRAFT-alnica je spet med vami z novim izzivom. :) 

Tokrat je bil izbor teme moj in po dobrem premisleku sem se odločila za "ČRTE."

Odločila sem se za preprost videz in enostaven dizajn, ki je primeren predvsem takrat, ko potrebujete nekaj za nekoga "resnega, odraslega, ..." in ne morete uporabiti na primer Whiff of Joy ali pa Magnolia štampiljk. ;) 

3 male vrtnice, 2 različna scrapbook papirja, nekaj šivanja, 4 pol perle in napis. To bi bil hiter povzetek opisa moje tokratne čestitke. :) 

Zmagovalka izziva pa si bo prislužila ljubke mini Paisley uhančke iz moje Etsy trgovinice.  

Sodelujte torej na tokratnem izzivu, pokukajte pa tudi k Simoni, Lili in Janji ter preverite kaj so lepega ustvarile. ;)

Hello my dear friends! 

CRAFT-alnica is here with a new challenge! It was my turn to pick up a theme and I decided to go with "STRIPES." I love all sort of stripes, so it was fun choosing perfect scrapbook paper for this job (since I have so many of them - especially with stripes!). 

I went with this, bit more serious type of a card and I like it. It's so plain and at the same time it's enough of everything on it. 

And one lucky winner will receive these cute little Paisley earrings from my shop. 

Have a nice day and see you soon!

Those are some pretty exciting news, right? I will provide you with few different colors so that you can match it with a lot of project if you wish.  So stay close and don't miss it!

Whiff of Joy izziv je zopet tu!! :)

Tokrat imamo za vas postavitev, ki se je morate držati, če želite sodelovati na izzivu. 

Glavni motiv (mišek Henry) sem kot vedno pobarvala s svojimi Prismacolor barvicami. In če vam je slučajno v oko padel napis "Have a mice day" in si ga tudi vi želite, potem imate res veliko srečo! :) Kajti napis sem izdelala sama in bo na voljo tudi vsem vam (v različnih barvah) že ta vikend!! Tako je - že ta vikend bom objavila povezavo do mesta kjer si boste lahko napise shranili na svoj računalnik in jih uporabili kadarkoli boste želeli. 

Do takrat pa si oglejte stvari, ki so vam že na voljo za shranjevanje (digitalni kompleti papirjev, napisi, itd.). Vse to najdete s klikom na gumbek "FREE DOWNLOADS" (gumbek je čisto na vrhu te strani).

Tako torej - sodelujte na 125. izzivu Whiff of Joy, ker se imamo prav luštno tam. ;)

Whiff of Joy - #124 {L.E.A.P.}

Hi there! 

2012 is a LEAP year, I'm pretty sure you all knew that, but I'm also pretty sure that you didn't know that LEAP year could be such a fun challenge. When you're joining Whiff of Joy challenge it sure is super fun! :)

So this week you need to follow 4 simple rules: 

L. = Lace

E. = Easel card

A. = Animal

P. = Pink

+ Whiff of Joy image (that's obvious, right? ;))

And here is my Easel card, with lace in pink and with a cute Henry on it. ;) 

*** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** ***

Ustvarjalni tim Whiff of Joy ima za vas nov izziv. ;) Zagotovo vsak ve, da je leto 2012 prestopno leto. Ampak, da je ta beseda (v angleščini) lahko tudi super izziv, pa zagotovo niste vedeli. ;) 

LEAP = prestop

L. = Lace = ČIPKA

E. = Easel card = ČESTITKA "STOJALO"

A. = Animal = ŽIVAL

P. = Pink = ROZA

Izdelajte torej čestitko na kateri bodo vse 4 stvari + Whiff of Joy štampiljka (brez tega ne gre pri nobenem izzivu) in sodelujte na izzivu! :)

Whiff of Joy - #123 {Sketch}

Well HELLO! :) Whiff of joy design team was my dream few years ago and then one day my MOJO was gone! Puffff! Black out! It was so stressful for me, because I wanted to create something but it just wan not working - at all!! And when that time came [to decide if I'm still going to be part of wonderful WOJ design team or step down] I imaginary slap myself and said "Come one girl! You can do it! Just sit down and create something." And I did. I create this card and I love it! :) I won't lie - I know I'm still not there where I was I would say a year ago, but I hope I will get there. ;) 

Pa sem spet nazaj! :)) In tokrat malo drugače, kot ste bili morda navajeni zadnje čase. Danes vam namreč pokažem ČESTITKO!! Jaaaaa! :)

Vabilo v Whiff of Joy ustvarjalni tim je milo rečeno bila velika čast in poklon mojemu ustvarjanju. Vendar pa se včasih stvari obrnejo drugače kot bi si človek želel in enostavno določene zadeve ne gredo tako kot si želimo. In tako je bilo tudi z mojim ustvarjanjem. Vendar je prišel čas, da naredim en "rez" čez situacijo, ki je nastala - ali se dokončno poslovim od WOJ ustvarjalnega tima ali pa se vrnem nazaj na stare tire. Kakšna je bila moja odločitev vam je verjetno že precej jasno, kajne? ;) Glede na to, da je spodaj fotografija čestitke, že veste da sem se odločila za vrnitev v čudoviti ustvarjalni tim Whiff of Joy. 

In tu je moja čestitka za 123. izziv, nastala je na podlagi postavitve, ki jo morate upoštevati, če želite sodelovati na izzivu (postavitev najdete na koncu te objave). 

I choose all this bright colors, because I just can't wait for the spring to come to our country. It's sunny outside, but still cold, so I guess we will have to wait few weeks for some spring-a-like weather. 

And here's sketch you need to follow if you want to participate in challenge no. 123.

CRAFT-alnica #47

14 dni je mimo! Hitro, kajne? Zdi se mi kot da komaj dokončam eno objavo za CRAFT-alnico in že je čas za novo. Po objavah CRAFT-alnice dejansko šele vidim kako se dnevi kar obračajo in minevajo. Je pa v tem tudi ena dobra stvar: pomeni, da bo pomlad kmalu tu. ;) 

Ampak pred tem bomo pa še malo ustvarjali, kajne? In danes vam predstavlajmo nov izziv, za katerega je temo določila Simona (BojaMoja). Glasi se: Pergamentno prosojno 

Če si želiš izvedeti več, bo treba na CRAFT-alnico. Drugače ne bo šlo. ;) 

In po res dolgem času sem za izziv pripravila ČESTITKO. ;) Kakšna je? Takšna, :)

Škatlica v katero sem jo shranila, da se ne poškoduje pa je dejansko tista, ki ustreza izzivu, saj je delno izdelana iz pergamentnega papirja. 

In še sama čestitka, za novopečeno abrahamovko. ;) 

Notranjost - zgornji del je namenjen posvetilu, v spodnjem pa je prostor za evrčke. ;) 

Ne pozabite pokukati še k: Simoni (BojaMoja), Lili in Janji, ter seveda sodelovati na CRAFT-alnici.

CRAFT-alnica is hosting another great challenge this week. And this is a card I made for it. :) 

Did you see my mojo? Anyone??

Well I guess we all know what the hell am I talking about but just to be on the same page, let’s see what wiki.answers.com has to say about it. :)

"Mojo means "finding the magic in what we do". To have "lost your mojo", refers to a loss of inspiration or creative genius; a loss of that special spark. The word has been around for almost 100 years, one source cites its use to as early as 1926.

I so lost my magic and I can find it anywhere! I feel so bad about it and I thought I would only last for couple of weeks but now it’s just taking soooo long and I still miss old me.

And if you are still wondering “What the hell is she talking about???” CRAFTS! Not that long ago I made a card almost every day, since I was in lot of Design Teams. But after a while I needed some time to fully commit to my Jewelry. And here I am – few months later, committed to my Jewelry and no sign of committing to anything else – especially not to paper craft things. Oh no. There is no sign of that – at all. No matter how much I try – there are just no results at all.

So few days back I was looking to my old blog post and I found some beautiful things that I made. And I just have to show it again, since I have nothing new to brag about. :D But I will do my best to get my mojo working as soon as possible. And if you have any idea at all what should I do about it – LET ME KNOW!!! I am as desperate as I can be. I am officially a desperate housewife – well with no husband – just a boyfriend, no kids – just my sweetie pie Luna, no house – well I have my parents house and I don’t cook that well. Could I still call myself a housewife??? :))) I guess not, ha? But we won’t go there … not today. I feel enough bad about myself. ;)

So here they are: CLICK on the IMAGE or on the TITLE to see the WHOLE POST about it:

Tilda on the paper bag

Treasure box

Happy Birthday Card

Post-it note holder

Love is in the air

Newborn Card

Happy birthday Card

And if you would like to see some more paper craft things just take a moment and look back to my older posts. There is sooo many things to see. ;)

Best wishes,

Manuela

Fotografiji kot inspiracija ~ 38

CRAFT-alnica ima za vas NOV izziv, ki nosi zelo zanimiv naslov – “Fotografiji kot inspiracija.” Na voljo sta vam namreč kar dve fotografiji, ki naj vam služita kot polje idej. :) Ideja za izdelek pa lahko nastane na podlagi barv, motivov, predmetov ali morda oblik, ki jih najdete na eni izmed fotografij. In kakšni sta ti dve fotografiji??

#1:

#2:

Moj izdelek za tokratni izziv je poročna čestitka, ki je že par dni (od sobote;) ) v rokah mladoporočencev. Moje želje (pred samo izdelavo) so bile sila preproste: naj bo enostavna, pa ne tako enostavna, kot da jo je naredil nekdo z levo roko, naj bo v barvah šampanjca, morda malo zlatega lesketa, obvezno še kanček beline, hmm pa če je kaj srebrnega tudi ne škodi, uuu pa nežno modra bo tuzdi super! :) In tako je nastala sledeča čestitka:

Tokrat imamo za vas malce drugačno nagrado – če jo želite pa najprej pokukajte na CRAFT-alnico, kjer dobite več informacij. ;)

Ne pozabite pokukati še k: Simoni (BojaMoja), Lili in Janji, ter seveda sodelovati na CRAFT-alnici.

Vsi tisti, ki radi berete zagotovo potrebujete tudi priročno kazalo, ki naj bo hkrati še čudovitih barv, kajne? ;) No če imam prav in če res potrebuješ nekaj takšnega pokukaj na spodnjo povezavo (klikni na slikico) in si poišči svoje naj kazalce! ;)

Lepo se imejte do prihodnjič,

Manuela

Whiff of Joy - #108 - Lace & Pearls

Whiff of Joy izziv vas tokrat vabi z izredno zanimivo temo: Čipka in Perle! Zato ne pozabite sodelovati na izzivu, saj si bo ena izmed tekmlovalk priborila lepo nagrado! ;)

Whiff of Joy Challenge wants you to join us this fortnight and have fun with our great challenge:

Lace & Pearls.

My card:

I decided to go with a “man card” this time, since this is a theme that I do not do very often. And I just could not resist and I did add some flowers on it. I don’t believe it’s to girly just because of that, I find it still quite masculine. :)

So start working on you “Lace & Pearl” card, since we are all dying to see it! :)))

And make sure you stop by my Etsy shop - there is a lot of new and exciting things going on since I last wrote about it. ;)

Have a nice summer day! Love u all!

Whiff Of Joy #10 + CRAFT-alnica #30 + ETSY

Imam pa danes tudi izredno lepo novico za vse vas, še posebej pa zame. ;) Etsy trgovinica je v moji glavi nastajala že zeloo zelooo dolgo, pred dvema dnevoma, pa je končno tudi zaživela. Dela s takšnim "mini" projektom je ogromno in prej, ko spišeš vsa pravila za tvoje kupce in prej ko objaviš kakšen izdelke mine velikooo časa. Ampak je pa potem toliko bolj luštno. ;) Torej vsi ki želite se sedaj lahko odpravite na ogled moje Etsy trgovinice, ki še vedno nima na "poličkah" čisto vsega kar namerava imeti, ampak kar nekaj stvari pa že je. ;)

I have one exciting news to share with you! :) My Etsy Store is finally alive!! I worked so hard to make everything ok, but I guess there are still few things that needs another touch. ;) But I'll work with that as we go. ;) So I invite you all to visit me at any time (day or night) because you will always find some new interesting pieces in there. ;)

In najbolj zanimivi novici, ki sta mi včeraj polepšali dan??

Novica št. 1: Takoj po odprtju moje trgovinice (no bolje rečeno po dodanih izdelkih vanjo, kajti "odprta" je že zelo dolgo, samo nič se ni dogajalo na njej:) ) je bila moja verižica vključena v Treasury - Kisses make the world go round

And I must say that my Etsy store was quite active on her first day. ;)

First of all my sweet necklace was included in my first (and hopefully not the last) Treasury - Kisses make the world go round . I was so happy about it, since it's my very first Treasury and this is kinda special. ;)

Novica št. 2: Že par uric po objavi izdelkov je bil prodan moj prvi par uhanov!! :))) Super začetek, zdaj pa samo držimo pesti, da bo takšno tudi nadaljevanje. ;)

The other exciting news was that my cute little red Polka Dot earrings were sold on their first day! Or to be exact - on their first hours! ;))) I am so happy about it - because it's that "first time" thing again and we all know how that feel! :)))   

Še vedno pa me lahko obiščete na moji Facebook strani, ki je veliko bolj ažurna in "živa" kot je tale moj blogec. ;) Pisanje tam enostavno veliko hitreje steče, kar posledično pomeni več interakcije z vsemi vami. ;)

You can always stop by my Facebook Fan page to check out what's new or just to say "Hi." ;)

Have a nice day!

Lepo se imejte do prihodnjič!
